Indications and Usage

Qsymia is used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise for chronic weight management in adults who have an initial body mass index (BMI) of:

30 kg/m2 or greater (medically obese), or

27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) and at least one weight related comorbidity such as diabetes type-2, high cholesterol or hypertension.

General Dosing and Administration

​For those of you who are not familiar with body mass index (BMI), we’ll take a look at it here. BMI is calculated by dividing your weight (in kilograms) by height (in meters) squared. You can use a conversion chart from the internet to use pounds and inches.

If you have an initial BMI of 30 or greater or 27 with comorbidities, your dosage of Qsymia would be:

Start therapy with one capsule of Qsymia (3.75 mg/23 mg) daily for 14 days taken in the morning with or without food. After 14 days increase to the recommended dose of Qsymia 7.5 mg/46 mg once daily.

Weight will be evaluated after 12 weeks. If the patient has not lost at least 3 percent of their baseline weight, discontinue or raise the dose. To raise the dose, increase to one capsule 11.25 mg/69 mg for 14 days once daily.

After 12 weeks of treatment, evaluate weight loss again.

If patient has not lost 5 percent of baseline weight, therapy is discontinued.
